Ouch! I should have waited to put my pick in. I picked box 2 pack 2 and 88 pitches. 2 others after me picked the same pack with 87 and 90 pitches. Oh well. I hope you pull some amazing cards. As always, thanks for the contest.

OMG -- that's brutal. I didn't even notice that. So you'll definitely need Dickey to throw either 88 or 89 pitches, and for the top pack not to fall on someone else's prediction.

Some apologies up front -- I'm very slow in busting. I sleeve, inventory, sort, and clean as I go. Unfortunately, I go out of town tomorrow, returning Tuesday, so it's highly unlikely I'll be able to finish up before I leave. It will be excruciating for me, knowing that there are boxes of Sterling at home to bust.

I'll do the best I can today, though, and will include some photos.
Box #1

Comments: No parallels! This is a strong candidate for worst pack of the break, and someone did select this pack, so there may be some junk wax in the mail early next week! I do like the Rizzo auto, though.

Box #1 grade: C+

Comments: A red refractor and a purple refractor in the same box is pretty hard to beat. OTOH, they were of poor to weak subjects, so their cash value is pretty modest. I seriously doubt the red Harris is going to be the case hit, but it's still cool, and I definitely got more value than I invested. No Harper yet. Going to work out; be back around 6PM Eastern.

Comments: Wow, that's grim. Clearly the worst pack so far, and unlikely to be beaten. Nobody picked the third pack of the second box, so it's possible I'll be stuck with all this junk wax. Nothing worth scanning. This box is in serious jeopardy, and I blame it on Cleto.
Box #2, pack #4

Box #2 grade: D
Comments: This a pretty low D. The Beachy black auto relic is a sweet card, but I think the next best card in the box is the Bradley base auto. The Cleto gold auto is not as good as it looks. I got waxed on this box. Looking for a Harper in box #3.
